Big Mistake...Huge!!!

Warning! Don't read if you have a sensitive stomach! However, if you like to hear about gross stuff happening to people like me, by all means, read on.

I learned a very important lesson today. We've had trouble before with our water efficient toilet and Max, the 3 year old who loves to use half the roll when he takes care of business. This is a combo I'm aware of and solved with the permanent addition of a plunger in the bathroom.

However, today I failed to consider a fairly significant change in the above routine...Augmentin. Yep. You guessed it. My Max has the D word. Add in the previous two factors and you have me, screaming at the top of my lungs for the toilet to please, please, please not overflow. Max is standing next to me crying because I'm screaming at the toilet and then at him to GET OUT OF THE WAY. Max made it in time. I was not so lucky. Neither was my bathroom, which was flooded. At one point it was so bad that I caught myself thinking, "If only he had thrown up on me. I'd be out of the shower by now and this would be over."

Everything is cleaned up now and thoroughly sanitized. If you come to my house in the near future, you will notice the complete lack of anything in my bathroom. There's no longer a basket with reading material (you know you have that too). No spare rolls of toilet paper or even a plunger. I threw it all away. I would have burned it, but I don't think the city lets you do that anymore.

Max is now banned from my bathroom and I will be having nightmares about this day for a long, long time.
